Mr Danny Kumar, New Business Development Manager at
Shell Eastern Petroleum Pte Ltd, invited Earth Society to conduct an
online Biodiversity Loss Talk for their staffs on 10 Jun. This is the 2nd
time Shell invited us to conduct a talk for their staffs.
On 10 Jun, Earth Society team joined Mr Danny (via MS
Teams platform) at 10.45 am. We conducted a Biodiversity Loss talk for about 200
staffs from 11 am to 12 pm.
We presented on Overfishing,
Deforestation, Climate change, Loss in Biodiversity and Factory
farming. We featured WWF 2020 Living Planet Index report which shows that 68%
of wildlife are lost from 1970s to 2016. We touched on issues such as reduce
Fish consumption, reduce Factory farming, Veggie days and UNEP ‘Planetary
Health Diet’. We also showed that if everyone on the planet consumes resources
as Singaporeans do, we will need 3 planets to sustain our consumption habits.
We need to reduce our consumption pattern to keep it within the limits of 1
planet.
Shell Pte Ltd staffs listened attentively to the talk and participated
actively in the Q & A session after the talk.

of the general overview)

knowledgeable and relevant for us, with data and facts.

knowledgeable and I am definitely influenced by his passion and enthusiasm!
